Publisher's Summary:
When Elvis Presley decided he wanted to buy a horse in 1966, he didn't want just any horse.
"He wanted a Golden Palomino," Priscilla Presley remembers. "He would get up at 3:00 in the morning, go to certain farms and ranches and say, 'Do you have a Golden Palomino for sale?' People would say, 'That was Elvis Presley!'"
Elvis's legendary love of horses drove him to find the golden palomino that would become his beloved companion, Rising Sun, and to fill Graceland's stables and Circle G Ranch with horses for family and friends to ride. In the first-ever audiobook dedicated to Elvis's equestrian side, horse lovers Kimberly Gatto and Victoria Racimo share rare stories and interviews that shed light on the beautiful, quiet life the King lived when he was with his horses.

Elvis the Equestrian
I had no idea that Elvis Presley had such an affinity for horses until I read this fascinating book. I especially could relate to his fondness for Tennessee Walkers, one of my favorite breeds. I loved the accounts of Elvis riding in front of the gates at Graceland to delight his fans and the equine adventures he had in his movies. The photos of Elvis and his various horses make this book even more enjoyable!
This is a wonderful book, which really shows how kind and humble ...
This book, written by a personal friend of mine for over 30 years -- is marvelous work. Kim Gatto, the author and whose idea was turned into this book, is the true author and deserves the credit. She worked tirelessly for over a year, trying to obtain information without the help of anyone from Graceland. She spoke to Elvis' friends directly, which was how she could get detailed, first-hand accounts of life with Elvis, as well as their personal photos. This is a wonderful book, which really shows how kind and humble the King was and that his legacy lives on. GREAT JOB, KIM
A Fascinating Look Into a Lesser-Known Side of The King
All the King's Horses is a detailed, thoughtful account of an otherwise unexplored aspect of Elvis' life. The author, Kimberly Gatto, weaves a portrait of Elvis at his happiest, out of the spotlight among friends at the Circle G Ranch or acting from the saddle on countless Hollywood movie sets. The book blends historical fact with countless anecdotes from close friends and associates, conjuring a lesser-known side of The King. Before reading this book, I had little to no knowledge of Elvis' love of his equestrian friends, nor his selfless devotion to his fans. It's clear that the author is passionate about both subjects and it shines through in the writing. Great read for anyone interested in Elvis, horses, or classic Hollywood cinema.
A fun read for horse or Elvis fans!
"All the King's Horses" takes you into the little-known, private part of Elvis Presley's life with horses. I was never a huge Elvis fan, but after reading this book, I want to explore more of his career. He seemed to be a kind and generous person.
Author Kimberly Gatto did an exceptional job bringing out Elvis' passion for horses through personal stories from those that knew him, to factual evidence, and rarely seen photos. The book is an enjoyable and easy read that has been beautifully presented.
